O2 XDA Exec - Camera Quality

[BudgieUK]

Guys.. I love my Exec, but one facility that seems to be very low quality is the camera. If I hold the Exec next to my SPV M2000 and compare the look of the viewfinder image on the screen, the SPV looks so much better ... is this normal, or is there something wrong with the cam?

I'd appreciate your toughts

compare actual pictures, this spun me out, but after actually taking pictures, and comparing them on a pc, the exec is actually quite good, for 1.3m the viewfinder dosent do the pics justice at all

and the panoramic option is wicked, here's an example of a 3 picture panoramic

Carnivor: isn't that the first level of Quake? I'm sure if you pan down a bit there's some lava and platform jumps :)

Looks good - I've never used my Universal's camera (well, other than the flash!). Will have to give it a go.

Thanks Carnivor
Thats good advice... I'll give it a go... and the pic of the church is very impressive.

Me and the missus were playing around with the Panorama option on my Exec last night (well, I ama big lad :wink:) and I must say it's rather good.

What Really Grinds My Gears is, the time it takes from pressing the button till camera taking the image!! always a couple of seconds!! ANY IDEAS? Thanks.

not sure if i have done something right or wrong, or wrong that might be good, but my camera seems absolutley fantastic on my exec, it has a 1.3 megapixel camera, but in the settings i have
large 640x480
1m 1280x1024
2m 1600x1280

does this mean i have 2mp camera, or just 1mp camera that pretends its 2mp :?

Dear All,
Can someone give me the IMEI range for the IMate Jasjar? I have just bought one and when I tried to register it the IMate site says the number was not valid. I then contacted support and they said the same thing.

I had the same problem reistering my PDA2k with Imate.

Thanks in advance.

I've used my camera on several occasions. Sometimes, it's ok, sometimes, the quality just makes me shake my head. What's the best camera settings? Any advice?
thanks!
p.s. joey, on the 2m thing. I read somewhere that it's just 2m extrapolated resolution... i suppose that means it's not real...

copied this from Earner's forum:

it's not true megapixels. I mean, the extra pixels aren't data, they are extrapolated.
Say you have pixels like this
█████

The hack would ASSUME there is a natural blend in there and then extrapilate accordingly. ie:
█████

This "extra" pixel isn't recorded data, but it appears that your camera is a higher megapixel.

i have a dud CMOS sensor in my external camera :'-(

lots of dead pixels on the saved image

i don't use it much so i don't care
